Well launched by his second place on Saturday during the pursuit, Jacquelin did not have to fight this time against Boe, but against Soerum, a 26-year-old biathlete less accustomed to Franco-Norwegian games. After using his three picks on the prone, the Frenchman let his opponent move away at 18 seconds. But without panicking, he managed to reduce the gap on the track. Comfortable in the hunter position on the last shots, Jacquelin secured the shot despite two errors, while the Norwegian went to visit the penalty ring.
